Wedding Advice No.1

If anyone tells you otherwise, they're all liars!

Shotgun wedding

Today was my first day visiting my grandmother, known for saying/doing inappropriate things at inappropriate times. She was on her best behaviour today so she didn't say anything that horrendous, but it was still a bit more information than I needed.

Recommendation

Vodka

And here's a part of a poster I made for the newly weds. :)

Universal "We"

I like to freak G out with (not-so) ambiguous pronouns.

Bridal Party on Wheels

The entire bridal party cycled to the Standesamt (civil registry office) on awesome decked-out bikes, which was superfun! (G biked in style with hiked-up suit pants.)

Wedding!

G's brother J and his girlfriend N got married today! Here's a little update before the evening festivities begin...!

Relatively nice

Bremen is a beautiful city, but weather-wise, keep your expectations low, low low. (Oh, and the wedding is G's brother's! woo woo! (not ours))

Just an attention hog

Slightly belated Sunday comic! But hey, it's still Sunday!

Unfashionably Early

I've done this before when I went to a Pakistani engagement party . . . except being on time for that party meant that you were THREE hours early. So yeah. At least I was in the company of other clueless non-Pakistani friends.

But yeah. Our Japanese-German combination makes for unbeatable punctuality. Sometimes.

Congrats to K & J!

Just wanted to post a little morning update to congratulate my friends K and J (also an international couple) on their wedding day! Woo hoo! Wishing you guys all the best, and see you later!

Congrats A & J!

Woot! At least I'll make the bride look even better, right? Right?

Virgin - バージン

Translation of the comic "Virgin" from March 16.

Weddings and Babies

Feeling much better after antibiotics and painkillers. Ah, modern medicine. I guess it will be a day of catching up on some drawing.

I had a really weird and slightly depressing dream last night. I had made an appointment with some important art professors to get feedback on my portfolio, so I had to take a taxi to Roppongi (central Tokyo). But when I got there, I found that I was on some tropical beach. I had to spread out my artwork on a beach towel. Everyone said the portfolio wasn't good enough. My friend A.Roy was there, consoling me. And then we all decided to go to a costume party by the beach. I can't remember what I was wearing, but someone was dressed up as one of the little GI Joe soldiers from Toy Story. And then a different friend A took me down to meet another artist, but the only way to get to his atelier was down a chute with wooden chairs nailed to the sides as footing. The guy was supertall and friendly. He took us to a gallery where they were selling a feather--a single, normal, possibly even pigeon feather--for 6,500 dollars. He kept saying that it was the best conceptual art piece he'd ever seen and how much he wanted to buy it. My friend and I just kind of looked at each other.

And then I woke up. Mostly, I was sad that they didn't like my stuff.

Anyway.

I've been trying to stay away from Facebook lately. I know I can't really do without it so I won't cancel my account, but I'm trying to keep myself from posting too much on it. But I do check out photos regularly and I realized that in the last year or two, the amount of wedding/engagement/baby photos have practically tripled. And I do enjoy looking at them because people generally look happy in them! And I enjoy photos of funny-looking (I mean adorable!) babies.

Hm, I apparently can't draw straight lines. Or cane chairs. It looks like I have a beaver tail. Meh.
